Thinking about their Super Bowl buzz, 6 percent of Colorado adults who plan to watch the game
say they will enjoy it with a mix of beer and marijuana while 36 percent plan to stick with
tradition and just drink beer, according to a Quinnipiac University poll completed last night and
released today. Another 2 percent plan to go with marijuana only and 56 percent say they will
take neither beer nor marijuana.

Among adults 18 to 49 years old, 3 percent plan to toke up while 43 percent plan to drink
beer and 8 percent plan to do both, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University
poll finds. Among adults 50 to 64 years old 4 percent plan to enjoy both beer and marijuana
while 32 percent plan to only drink beer. Among adults 65 and older, 1 percent plan to try beer
and marijuana while 18 percent are keeping it to beer only.

All Colorado adults say 71 - 28 percent that it would not bother them if the Denver
Broncos smoke marijuana after the game. There is almost no gender gap, but disapproval rises
with age: adults 18 to 49 years old say no worries 78 - 22 percent and adults 50 to 64 years old
agree 68 - 30 percent. Among adults 65 and older, 45 percent would be bothered and 49 percent
would not be bothered.

"Beer is still the drug of choice for Coloradans on Super Bowl Sunday, despite the recent
legalization of marijuana" said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University
Polling Institute.

"But if the Broncos want a post-game toke of marijuana , adults say, 'Smoke 'em if you
got 'em.'"

Colorado adults say 84 - 7 percent that the Broncos will gallop over the Seattle
Seahawks. There is almost no difference by age or gender.

"How quickly they forget. Coloradans by a margin of two to one think future Hall of
Famer Peyton Manning is a better quarterback than the legendary John Elway," Malloy added.

From January 29 - 30, Quinnipiac University surveyed 490 Colorado adults with a
margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia,
Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.
